Tension ratchet with a belt magazine, and belt magazine

Abstract

The invention relates to a tension ratchet with a belt magazine, for rapidly fixing a good to be transported to a vehicle, an object to a support, or several objects to each other. The tension ratchet ( 30 ) is combined with a belt magazine ( 1 ) which receives the entire idle belt supply during use and during storage and ensures rapid tying down/releasing of e.g. a transport load, due to constant availability for use; as well as tidy storage. The belt magazine ( 1 ) is arranged in such a way that it lies flat on the lower arm of the tension ratchet ( 30 ) in order to reduce the construction height, with a vertical belt winding up shaft ( 15 ) for receiving a belt to be wound up in horizontal rotation. The belt runs into the tension ratchet out of the belt magazine on its back side in the winding position, rotates about 90° in said tension ratchet and is then led out through the load tensioning roller ( 8 ).
